NEWARK, N.J. — Maja Nylen Persson scored a power-play goal in overtime to help the New York Sirens end a nine-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Victoire. It was the first win for New York (4-4-4-10) since a 3-0 victory over Ottawa on Jan. 27. Montreal (10-6-2-5) was coming off a 3-2 overtime win over Boston on Saturday to improve to 6-1 in games that go beyond regulation this season. The game had a lengthy delay with 14:50 left in the third period before New York rookie Sarah Fillier was assessed a five-minute major for a cross check to the head of Erin Ambrose. Montreal took advantage as Kati Tabin scored with 2:37 remaining in the penalty for the team's 11th power-play goal of the year.
